Title: Wondering if anyone has exp. with side pipes and our cars
Post by: 20th anny 5.o on August 14, 2005, 02:06:20 PM
Yeah im looking at a summit racing catalog and eyeing these Dyno Max side pipes and a set of Patriot classic Style (AKA grated). So how hard do you guys think it would be to hang these and secondly, would i have to straight pipe it if i did this.

                                                Here is a link to the Patriot pipes

they both have a ler built in them > be sure to hear a car with a set of each before you decide as you may not be happy with the sound the may produce.


also take mesurements the patriots are 80 in long

You can always just get 2 lers in the stock location with both the inlet and the outlet being in the front and having sidepipes off a 1994-1998 mustang like I did:

Could yes but i like the classic grated tubular, if it comes to it i may do it the baxo way but i prefer the classic sidepipes.

Yeah to be honest the grated tubular ones hold a spot in my heart.. but my plans aren't exactly complete with this yet. That and this was the easiest way I can achieve the sidepipes on a 4 banger.

Cool, one of the 4's eh that is pretty cool, not to mention fuel efficient. Just for a trip up to taylor michigan it cost about 17 bucks in gas for me, mind you i live in toledo pretty much on the line.

Do you wax them, and to tell the truth i could care less about the lack of performance. I just think they look good and not that many fox bodies have side pipes.


Thanks for the warning tho
